Quick 5779 Geula Gematria
Daniel asked when the exile will be over. The angel told him:
Daniel 8:14:
| יד וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי--עַד עֶרֶב בֹּקֶר, אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת; וְנִצְדַּק, קֹדֶשׁ. | 14 And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.' |
and Rashi says:
...ואני אומר כי הערב והבוקר האמור כאן גמטריא הוא......and I say that the ערב and the בקר that are said here is a gematria...
Although he means that just the words "ערב בקר" are a gematria the way he explains it, we can extrapolate that the concept of using gematria can be applied to the entire phrase of עַד עֶרֶב בֹּקֶר, אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת.
The gematria of עַד עֶרֶב בֹּקֶר, אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת (with the final-mem as 600) is: 2452.
The beginning of the exile of King Yehoyachin was in the year 3327.
3327 + 2452 = 5779
